MATERIALS
2. Applications 3M Interam Endothermic Mat E-5A-4 is a flexible and space-saving wrap system that protects against fire
spread and smoke contamination in a wide range of new or retrofit applications requiring full envelope protection, including: structural steel,
electrical circuity / raceways, cables, cable trays, conduits, equipment shrouds, steam lines and membrane penetrations (e.g. spaces containing
electrical panels, elevator call boxes, safe deposit boxes, medical gas boxes). Consult system details, contact your local 3M sales representative
or call 1-800-328-1687 to inquire about application-specific installation guides).

6. Installation Techniques Consult a 3M Authorized Fire Protection Products Distributor / Dealer or Sales Representative
for Applicable Listed Third Party (e.g. UL, ULC, Intertek, FM) drawings and system details. Refer to application-specific 3M Interam Endothermic
Mat E-5A-4 Installation Guides for installation information.
Recommended tools/materials For a typical mat installation, the following tools may be of assistance: razor knife, large scissors or electric scissors
(to cut mat), T-Square or similar straight edge (to help with straight cuts of mat), tape measure (to measure mat
required), marking pen (to identify layers of mat), 3M Aluminum Foil Tape 425 (to seal cut edges of mat), rubber
roller (to ensure good adhesion of tape), Scotch Filament Tape 898 (to temporarily hold mat pieces in place -
optional), stainless steel bands 1/2 in. wide x .020 in. min thick (12.7 mm x .5 mm) and band clips to help secure
mat, band tensioners, 3M Fire Barrier Sealant CP 25WB+ (to fill seams).
Installation considerations Determine the appropriate number of layers required for your application. Ensure proper covering and protection
of joints, seams, overlaps and any area that requires special cutting and fitting. Ensure proper use of banding
to mechanically restrain the mat system. Refer to listed system details for sealant, banding requirements,
layer requirements and other installation procedures.
7. Maintenance No maintenance is expected to be required when installed in accordance with listed system details. Once installed,
if any section of the 3M Interam Endothermic Mat E-5A-4 is damaged, the following procedure will apply: for damage to the outer metallic covering,
install 3M Aluminum Foil Tape 425 to overlap a min. 2" (50.8 mm) in all directions. For more extensive damage (including damage to the mat material),
contact 3M Fire Protection Products at 1-800-328-1687.
